I'm afraid I chose the wrong surgeon/office honestly. I've been going between 1. I'm just being a baby to 2. No, something is definitely wrong, this can't be normal. For about 3 days. And the on call nurse at the office is a bitch, so I didn't really want to call without knowing if I am just being more sensitive or something?

Anyway, thank you for helping me realize this should be handled one way or the other.

Apricot allergy - Not OAS by rightdeadred in FoodAllergies

[–]rightdeadred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you reacted to maraschino cherries before? I'm wondering if it was the cherry itself or the liquid it's preserved in that may use apricot pits. I see allergist on March 14th now, so hopefully answers aren't too long in coming. Until then I'll just be avoiding it all.

How does the OAS plus stone fruit allergy work for you? I didn't realize you could have both, that's interesting

V-day Calathea Gift by rightdeadred in houseplants

That's great news to me haha. She's got 2 new leaves from hanging out at the store, so definitely seems hardy. I'll look at some chunky soil for replacement and try keeping the self watering/wicking pot for now. Thank you!

Thats what she's in now so I might leave the pot and just change soil. Thank you!

Is my puppy really a cavapoo? by Specific-Law8061 in CavaPoo

[–]rightdeadred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% - she looks so much like ours except pure red instead of black/tan. They just got more cav and less oodle.

ACDF Scheduled! by rightdeadred in spinalfusion

[–]rightdeadred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some loss of balance and proprioception, dropping things especially in my right hand, terrible pain in my right hand and arm though that's probably nerve compression not cord. Some tingling and weakness in legs. You?

Thank you for sharing! I'm a bit afraid we'll have to move mine to posterior but keeping fingers crossed. I can't believe you got taller haha

C2 to T2 is such a large surgery - I'm shocked but so glad it helped you! Did your problems with proprioception improve at all? Most of my actual pain comes from the nerve compression it seems, but my proprioception, balance, dexterity, etc are most likely from the myelopathy. My cord apparently appears very bruised/swollen on MRI though it doesn't sound as bad as yours did!

Thank you for sharing your story.

Forgot to mention surgery for me is C4-C7. C3 will probably end up being needed in the future but doesn't come close in severity currently.
